#### Constructing a Cast Square Slot

Similar to a Cast Circle, you can construct a Cast Square Slot by changing any given feature into a slot. Using the Cast option from the Construct Square Slot dialog box, Planner constructs the slot at the centroid of the input feature.

The following guidelines are used when you construct a cast slot:

- The diameter or width of the input feature is used as the width of the slot.

- The length of the input feature is used as the length of the slot.

- If the width or diameter of the input feature is 0 (zero), the width of the slot is the probe's diameter.

- If the length of the input feature is 0 (zero), the length of the slot is set to three time the probe's diameter.

- The vector of a line feature is used as the slot's angle vector; the vector of any other feature types is used as the slot's surface vector.

To construct a Cast Square Slot:

1. Access the Construct Square Slot dialog box either from the menu Insert | Feature | Constructed | Square Slot or clicking the Constructed Square Slot button from the Constructed Features toolbar.

2. Select the Cast option.

3. Select one feature of any type.

4. Click the Create button.
